Provides an overview of Policy Agent software, including the web agents and J2EE agents that are currently available. To view the Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 documentation collection, see: |
Other Policy Agent guides, besides this guide, are available as described in the following sections:
The Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide is available in two documentation sets: the Access Manager documentation set as described in Table P–2 and in the Policy Agent 2.2 documentation set as described in this section.
The individual agents in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set, of which this book is an example, are available on a different schedule than Access Manager itself. Therefore, documentation for Access Manager and Policy Agent are available in separate sets, except for the Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide, which is available in both documentation sets.
The documentation for the individual agents is divided into two subsets: a web Policy Agent subset and a J2EE Policy Agent subset.
Each web Policy Agent 2.2 guide provides general information about web agents and installation, configuration, and uninstallation information for a specific web agent.
Each J2EE Policy Agent 2.2 guide provides general information about J2EE agents and installation, configuration, and uninstallation information for a specific J2EE agent.
The individual agent guides are listed along with supported server information in the following chapters of the Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide:
The Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Release Notes are available online after an agent or set of agents is released. The release notes include a description of what is new in the current release, known problems and limitations, installation notes, and how to report issues with the software or the documentation.
Policy Agent 2.2 was first introduced with Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) 2005Q4 but now also supports the following Java ES releases:
